Why YSK: there are times when you need to not be stinky. A multi-day outing with friends staying in one house comes to mind. Taking bismuth subgallate will make even your vilest poops and farts smell like absolutely nothing. In the US, it’s FDA approved for that purpose and comes in chewable tablets.
The suggested use for anyone not bothering to look this up is to deodorize gas and stool but it’s suggested use is for people with colostomy or exposed stomas where smelly gas and stool is a constantly expelled or people with chronic gas and liquid stool.
I wouldn’t want to stick any drug in my body just to stop farting in social situations. Every drug has or could have side effects even Tylenol or aspirin.
Tylenol/acetaminophen/paracetamol is actually very dangerous. Almost surprising that it’s allowed over the counter.
That’s why I specifically mentioned it. :)

Sorry, I have a hard time coming up with reasons why you should not be stinky in such a case. Do you have a toilet in the middle of the living room on outings? Otherwise who cares? Shit stinks, perfectly normal, absolutely no reason to hide that. People should stop being ashamed for bodily functions instead of medicating them away.
If you’re really gassy and don’t want to crop dust everyone with horrible fart stank?

I’m gonna try and convince my roommates to take this for my own sanitys sake
Um no. Are you European or a filthy hippy? Which one?
Awesome, anything to help me not poop at all for 3 days?
Yes but it’s risky. The poop on the 4th day may make you have to retile your bathroom.
Stop eating?
I carry a lighter. Burn it a bit before you leave the bathroom and it will get rid of most of the smell. I prefer this to taking some sort of medication.
💀
no, the gasses that make the smell are mostly flammable, having an open flame for a few seconds will generally reduce the concentration of these gasses to near unnoticeable levels
Correct
So that’s why Elon Musk made those scientists invent a flamethrower.
The only issue is they were supposed to use it on fart gases, yet neglected to use it on the main source of fart gas…Elon himself.
Shits on fire, yo
Just imagining their friend walking into the bathroom after they forget to unlock it, utterly shocked to find the toilet full of flaming turds
But that takes all the fun out of crop dusting my roommates and coworkers.
While people have a point that it shouldn’t matter whether your shit stinks, I appreciate knowing about this now. 🙂
